Published 5/19/2004

Oregon State University is nearing completion of the $20-million Dixon Recreation Center expansion project in Corvallis, Ore. Designed by Yost Grube Hall of Portland, the expansion has created  60,000 sf of space housing a three-court basketball gymnasium with a suspended running track, two cardio-fitness rooms, two weight rooms, multipurpose rooms and classrooms, an outdoor center, a climbing center, lounges, dining, and locker rooms. The facility is one of the first on campus to integrate sustainable design, using recycled materials and natural light and ventilation systems.
